<img src=”/img/best_thumb.png” align=“left” alt=“Best – Beagle Search Tool” />What Is Beagle?
Beagle is a new indexing daemon which is design to provide a fully integrated search. You can search your bookmarks, files, im-logs, rss-items, google, mails and contact. You have not to use different interfaces, just one interface, called best (beagle search tool), provides that all.
How To Install?
Installing Beagle
Installing beagle under Gentoo is quite an odyssey. You have to use many ebuilds from Bugzilla. Here is a (hopefully) complete list:
Kernel Setup
Beagle wants to have the inotify-patch. Download it from there. If you’re using 2.6.11 you can use this one. Works quite fine on my machine.
After patching (cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.11 ; patch -p1 < inotify-0.20-rml-2.6.11-1.patch) the kernel you must run make oldconfig to activate the following configuration line:CONFIG_INOTIFY=yHow To Run?
Starting beagled by entering beagled. This will automatically indexes all current files. To have the search GUI type best and take a look to the notification area.
